FabFitFun (Winter 2018) - My First Box!

With my 2nd FabFitFun box on the way this week (Spring 2019), I looked through my phone and noticed I never reviewed my first box. FAIL.

Last fall, I noticed that a few ads popping up on social for FabFitFun with a $10 coupons for the first month. Annnnd you know I'm all about those coups! I had heard about this company before but wasn't interested mainly due to the fact it was too much money and looked too preppy for me. PASS.

This time I actually did my research. $50 plus tax for each season, that's 4x a year. That's not bad as I thought. You can get a break if you upgrade to select, but I haven't had the $150 to throw down for the year yet. I plan to soon...

Anyways, when you sign up you'll take a extremely long quiz. No joke. It had many, many questions. I did it before bed - thinking it'll take 5 minutes like Ipsy. Nope, it took over 20. But they really get to know what your into: beauty, jewelry, clothes, fitness.You get full size products, not trial size like other companies...that's what pulled me in. 1 million subscribers! They know what they're doing!

When the Winter box came, I was delighted. It was delivered in this colorful box below. I almost didn't want to toss it in the garage when I was done 😋

Ipsy Glambag November 2018

November's Glambag is uber cute. A rich, deep electric blue with pattern black hearts. Definitely my kind of style! This month has some winners and losers....

Juice Beauty's Illuminating Primer - this is a versatile product. Not only with its glow you can wear alone, or how it was created - as a face primer. Retails for $36

ORIBE HAIR CARE's Dry Texturizing Spray -  when I opened this Glambag and saw Oribe's Texture Spray, I was stoked. But it was a disaster! It's not a dry shampoo, although it is similar. When I spray on my roots and dried to brush my hair out, all these white flaking specs showed up on my head. It looked as if I had lice all over. FAIL, TO THE EXTREME. Retails for $30

THEBALM COSMETICS' Nude Beach Eyeshadow in Brave - soft eyeshadow that can be used wet or dry. I dislike the color, due to so many eyeshadows coming in that dull shade. Retails for $8

PIXI BY PETRA's LipLift Max in Honey Sheen - claim to plump your lips - it DOES NOT. But this gloss is a pretty peach sheen with shimmers. Retails for $14

MAC's Strobe Light in Pinklite - Originally this item didn't come in my bag and when my roommate offered to trade...I jumped on that quickly. This creams helps brighten your skin with a luminating, iridescent glow. GORG. Retails for $34
